As per usual I've failed in keeping up to date with the old blogger, I've been pulling extra shifts at my job to pay for much needed house repairs and bills. And when I've not been slugging it away at work I've been working on some commission pieces which have required a lot of time and attention.
It doesn't help that my clients have requested changes several times resulting in major restarts and consuming what spare time I've ever had left.
But fortunately enough jobs are done, clients are happy, I've been paid for my time. Downside is that two clients have requested I not publish the pieces to my website (understandable as one is a large nude piece and another is off a family portrait) and the other pieces were fairly generic images for themed rooms.
One such piece I was greatly proud of but due to the finishing time of the piece and when the client arrived to pick it up. Taking a decent photograph wasn't doing any justice to the work.
Regardless I'm back. Got a few more pens to check out and review on, a few commissions to work on. And if I'm fortunate enough several absolutely wrecked technical drawing pens (that I'm currently bidding on via eBay) to document a "how to fix" sort of blog or video to construct...
I'm also looking to try an update to previous pen reviews, a quick look at bottled inks and handcrafted drawing tools anyone can do in the exploration of mark making.
Till then
